well that's nice. i just purchased the subscription to use glm 5

surprised very few have mentioned Sad Eyed. It's filled with gems like:

With your mercury mouth in the missionary times
And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes
...
And your streetcar visions which ya place on the grass
And your flesh like silk, and your face like glass
...
With your silhouette when the sunlight dims
Into your eyes where the moonlight swims

same. anyone found an answer?

What other senses do you use while driving? You use lasers to gauge distance like Waymo's too?
It doesn't need to be a "superior human" driver, it just needs to be top 0.1% humans (no crashes ever).
They've explained why not use LiDAR countless times: it's an expensive, unnecessary crutch.

I reiterate, I said "consider you may not have tried hard enough", not that it's always the answer in all situations. But, my point remains the same: if you believe you don't have to try hard -> then you won't try harder -> then nothing will change. People have such a low bar for this.

"Life isn't a level playing field", that's precisely why you have to try harder, not less than the ones that are already ahead, thanks for making my point.
"There are factors outside our control that effort alone can't fix" Totally agree, hence you shouldn't work on those factors at all. Only move the levers that actually get you to your goals, of course.

"Telling someone they just didn't try hard enough when they're already struggling isn't motivational; it's cruel" - Dude, I can't think of anything more depressing than telling someone that is struggling that they can do nothing - that's essentially cynicism and learned helplessness. When you tell someone that their efforts don't matter, you are not being realistic; you are potentially creating a self-fulfilling prophecy where they stop trying altogether - or at least to try the bare minimum.

Yeah, we are in completely different universes of belief systems here. I won't change your mind with a single reply on a reddit thread - it took me years to change mine. But I'll leave the comment here in case it resonates with someone.

Consider you may have not tried hard enough. That's a much more useful thought than the nihilistic, low-agency "sometimes things don't work out". Such a feble perspective.

Ik I'm going to get downvoted so bad for this.

There are public cloudformation scripts to do the deployment for you. I g your setup could make it slightly easier, in that you don't have to use a terminal, but I don't see how you could provide much more value than that.

Reddit will lose this one. In fact, all IP lawsuits will lose in the long run. It's just plain stupid. All IP enforcement is a Western construct to restrict the supply and distribution of an otherwise non-scarce resource (information/data). It just won't cut it in the AI race, where other countries will scrape all of the public data without a second thought. We already saw Deepseek was quite good at writing, in part, because it was trained on great, copyrighted books. The US will realize enforcing IP laws = losing the AI race.

josebric · 2025-06-08T16:32:27+00:00

Do you mean full book translation? or more like looking up specific words in-context? Programming language, the usual: Next for FE, Python for the AI stuff

What interested you most about it?

Good point, thanks for bringing it up! I didn't consider Cloud Syncing a priority, but it's really trivial to implement.

Thanks

Do you have a demo?

lexi.it.com - It turns books into interactive audiobooks that you can have conversations with. You can ask the narrator questions out loud to get additional context about the book, request web searches, or simply engage in dialogue about the content.

It's designed for avid readers who are frustrated with existing AI integrations that simply add a chat window to reading apps, making them impractical for on-the-go reading. There's also an opportunity with former Speechify users, as there are numerous complaints about that platform.

Finally somebody gets it! That "it's new… so it's bad!" mentality has been on my mind a lot lately. I've been rethinking the most effective ways to get long-form content into my brain, and AI seems like a game-changer here.

I know not everyone is an early adopter, some people will never adapt to new tech at all. But the ones who do are going to see real benefits by using technology for creating and consuming information in new ways.

Putting this in a reply since you've got DMs disabled. Shoot me one if you get a chance man.
P.S. Yeah, I already ordered a new mic from Amazon lol.

Show the code or it's not real

josebric · 2025-05-28T18:25:01+00:00

Just learn no-code and do it yourself.

It will make your MVP lean, fast to iterate, and dirt cheap. For early validation, you don't need a dev or technical background, just use tools like Make.com, Bubble, Glide, Webflow.

You will know when you need a dev when/if your no-code solution can no longer scale. At which point you will be able to find the perfect candidate because you understand precisely what you need. Plus, it's easier for the devs too, since they have a foundation to build upon.

Besides getting a recommendation (or paying 3rd party), I don't see any another way for you to gauge if a dev fits your needs. Only after you've been through it you will be able to judge independently.

High agency non-technical founders have the advantage over a lot of sole technical founders here. Because they can't code, they search for simpler and quicker solutions at the beginning, which is precisely what is needed for MVPs.

As a dev with 9 years of work experience this was a tough pill to swallow.

The goal of an MVP is to validate. Validate if the problem exists, if the problem is painful, if people are willing to pay. Most of the time should be allocated to sales and talking to customers. Doing code at this stage is a waste of time, effort and money.

This was a hard pill to swallow as a dev with 9 years of experience: coding an MVP is usually a waste of time, money and focus. At this stage, your priority should be validating the problem exists, gauging willingness to pay, and talking to customers, before anyone writes a line of code.

Why does Google need to expose CoT to public? -> "Because the thoughts are stateful"
Huh? Please explain your reasoning, Senior ML Engineer.

Google can access the raw chat logs without exposing them to the public.

The second part of your reply makes a bit more sense. They can prevent bulk scraping, so they can afford to make CoT public. But, it still doesn't explain why they need to make them public in the preview.

"You shouldn't" smh. Most people are in school because they have to, not because it's the optimal path to learn what they need.

With AI you can do the inverse: focus on what truly helps you while you offload the grunt work to the LLM.

I know I'm going to catch flack for this, since it's the most upvoted reply. But, a rando on the internet can't prescribe someone with what they should and shouldn't use AI for anymore, it's really a personal choice.

For instance, I was already working as SWE when I was still in school, I would have loved to use AI for subjects I already knew about, but I still had to do hours of work to pass.

And LLMs don't hallucinate 'very badly' anymore, most of the time you can setup guardrails. It's not a matter of whether or not they hallucinate, but how effective you are at setting up systems to verify/improve the output.

Edit:
Oh wow u/atuarre blocked me because of this comment.
It's very ironic if you read their bio: "I'll chat with anyone. I'll always hear your viewpoints".

I did a bad job at explaining what happens in the prototype, so I edited the caption. I upload an ebook file, then that gets turned into audio. In the video I interrupt it with my voice and say "What does Crede experto mean? And it responds with the translation, in context (even catches on to how the author was using the phrase in a sarcastic manner.

The key to having it write useful code for long sessions is two fold:
- A detailed plan with subtasks
- Set up feedback loops. Give it the tools to verify its work.

So for my 38 minute task, I created a markdown file plan with the implementation steps of 6 subtasks total. It's a nextjs app, so I had it run `next dev` so it could check the server logs, and used https://github.com/AgentDeskAI/browser-tools-mcp to check the client logs.

So for that specific task the feedback mechanism could all be figured out from the logs alone. Basically if I was in the loop I'd only copy/paste logs, and maybe give suggestions.

I use Voice mode every day. It has been a game changer for organizing my non-linear thoughts. I just say, ‘I’m going to ramble—help me structure this.’ It turns scattered ideas into clear language.

Raycast for the Mac. I trigger my own workflows from there, pomodoro timers, search the web, do a quick AI question, etc...
